Family Bible

I have recently been given for safe-keeping a family Bible listing dates of family births, deeaths and marriages and christenings, all within the village of Farringdon and the church of All Saints. The earliest record was dated 1757. My great-great-grandmother was Mary Knight who married William Newell from Arylsford, their daughter Ellen Sophia was my great-grandmother and she married George Radfod from the village of Bentley in Hampshire. They all lived in Farringdon during periods of their lives. The surname Christmas is mentioned a lot as godmother or godfather and while visiting the churchyard I found a gravestone with this name on it.
